November:
Friday, November 13 Walker Fine Art Opening Reception, 5 - 8 pm Rhythmic Duality featuring: Melana Bontrager, Sandra Klein, Karin Schminke, Deidre Adams, Elaine Coombs, and Caprice Pierucci. Explore the delicate tension between holding on and letting go, where uncertainty becomes a space for discovery, transformation and reflection. In Rhythmic Duality, six artists navigate the shifting boundaries between intention and intuition, permanence and change. Through imagined landscapes, fragmented shadows, intuitive journeys, and undulating forms, each artist gives shape to experiences of discovery. Together, their works consider what happens when we loosen our grip on the known to find beauty, meaning, and possibility in the balance between directing our experience and allowing it to unfold.

December:
Month of December Saks Galleries New Works & Small Paintings We will not have a formal exhibition in December, but we welcome new works, especially small paintings for the gallery throughout the holiday season. We will do informal events on the weekends leading up to the holidays such as weekend demos. Friday, December 4 Visions West Gallery The Midnight Paddock, featuring several artists from all over the globe from guest artists to our favorite gallery artists like Shelley Reed and Julia Lucey. The Midnight Paddock celebrates the horse not just as a beast of burden, but as a living channel of unbridled kinetic energy—a creature that has carried humanity across physical borders and spiritual thresholds for millennia. As the year gallops toward its finish line, we pause at this seasonal intersection of power and grace to explore the stallion not as a competitor in a race, but as an emblem of the endurance and spirit required to run it. Through January 16		Visions West Gallery Howard Fonda Untitled, 2026 Oil on canvas, 69 x 54 inches Through January 16   Visions West Gallery Evgeniya Dudnikova Where are you, my soul, 2026 Oil on canvas, 27.5 x 23.6 inches Through January 16

In Low Tide, Lopez explores the question of intergenerational transference, holding space to ruminate on what one retains from their lineage and the role of intentionality in cultural inheritance. Mirrored throughout the exhibition are infusions of the deeply personal blended with universal languages of color and design. Pivoting between materials and familial rifts, Lopez's Low Tide alternates focus between the anecdotal yet precious nature of the stories we keep. McConnell exhibits a series of unglazed, raku-fired eathenware sculptures. For nearly two decades, McConnell's process has begun by taking cues from other artists' works, which he 'remaks' under a set of constraints that shift with each body of work. His approach is a means of understanding the present moment in art, focused through the measured, physical act of object-making. The artist's clutch of abstract sculptures take visual cues from contemporary art publications, borrowing lines and compositions from the work of other artists to create wholly original forms.

Both artists will be in attendance. Ron approaches these paintings without a predetermined story. He thinks of each work as a chapter in a book with no fixed beginning, middle, or end, leaving its meaning open to you. Gallery preview Where Things Wander: New Works by Jill Soukup "Release the reins and let the horse choose." Jill Soukup's new body of work follows that advice: different subjects, different mediums, all sharing the same willingness to trust curiosity and let things. Thursday, November 5 Opening reception, 4:30 – 6:30 PM Flourishing Through Beauty, a national exhibition of new work by artists of national and international renown, and the kick-off of the Flourishing Through Arts & Science Initiative 2026. The evening begins at 4:30 PM with the Flourishing Salon, a 30-minute presentation by Dr. Shirley Mueller on the neuroeconomic processes at work when we acquire and collect objects, including art: how and why the decision brings both pain and pleasure, and what we often call “retail therapy.” The Opening Reception follows, with cocktails and Cuban fare, until 6:30 PM. Space is limited and reservations are required. When you reserve, choose the Salon, the Reception, or the full evening. Salon seating is limited to 75.

Zoe Hawk, Lost Girls explores the complex experience of girlhood, examining feminine identity, adolescent anxiety, and the search for belonging. Upon first glance, the paintings appear sweet and familiar: candy-colored, nostalgic vignettes of girls camping, playing, and dancing. Yet closer inspection reveals narratives that take a mysterious or unsettling turn. Sometimes embodying innocence and curiosity, other times confronting uncertainty and fear, the works delve into both the wonder and heartbreak of coming of age. View the exhibit

Continuing:
Brodalisque and Wes Hempel,  Hempel: "I consider these new paintings like a hinge. For many years I was motivated to focus imagery through an art historical lens, my goal to deploy subject matter as an infiltrator into an arena where gay stories were historically lacking." Klaire Lockheart's "Brodalisque" series combines a "bro" with an "odalisque," depicting reclining dudes in man caves. Detailed oil on canvas figure paintings of passive masculine forms lounging in mysterious and unknowable environments purposefully invoke a historic and academic style of art to challenge the traditional patriarchal values of Western civilization.
